This was one of the first photos I'd taken with my Nikon D40. I wish the photo had been more sharp, especially the bee. If someone can tell me what I did wrong, I'd love to learn.

Lily Pad

I love the scalloped edges of the lily pads and how they lay on the flat water surface and then how the colors of the flora rise up and stand out.

Fowl & Feathers

I love the red mask on this fowl's face - does anyone know what kind of duck this is?

The Trees Were Filled With White Birds

The trees in Brackenridge Park were filled with birds, it looked like huge clumps of cotton, it was an amazing site.

Footbridge That's Also a Work of Art

This is a footbridge but it's also a work of art. There is a famous artist (my bad, don't remember the name) that sculpts this from concrete to look like wood, his work can be seen throughout San Antonio on the Riverwalk, Brackenridge Park, Botanical Gardens.

I had been to this particular park (Brackenridge Park in San Antonio) many times before and never before have I remembered seeing these beautiful birds. It's magical the way they appear to walk on water as they step on the lilypads.
